Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLouis Thibault is a protocol architect and serial entrepreneur with 13 years of experience designing low-latency, peer-to-peer systems for blockchains, trusted execution environments, and agentic OSes. He holds a PhD in Cognitive Science and applies that research-driven mindset to practical problems like P2P routing, secure WASM execution, and lock-free concurrency for high-throughput block builders. Louis has led engineering efforts that produced a top-five Ethereum block-builder and architectures for global mempool distribution, and now focuses on peer-to-peer AI inference networks and off-chain execution primitives. His background blends academic rigor, military small-unit experience, and hands-on startup leadership, which shows up in pragmatic designs that balance security, performance, and scale. An entrepreneur from the Entrepreneur First 2018 cohort, he remains active in open infrastructure projects (e.g., Wetware’s agentic OS) and freelance work on libp2p/Iroh and EVM/MEV tooling.
